Why do different aircraft have different types of propulsion systems?
Jassia
It all depends on what's available & what you want it to do.
Jets are for speed and drink Kerosene, cost a fortune, are very high tech to make. They are very inefficient in the lower atmosphere but pretty efficient & last a long time in the higher atmosphere, where the air is cool & thin.
Piston engines are pretty efficient, low tech easy to manufacture burn gasoline or diesel fuel and produce good results when attached to a propeller but not as fast. they like the lower atmosphere, wear out faster than jet engines.
So it is all about available resources, trade offs, budget, technology available & what you want to do.
